Exercise & FitnessBuild Strength as You Age Without Letting Training Wear You Down
How can you keep building strength without letting workouts undermine your ability to stay active? Peter Attia interviews physical therapist and strength coach Jeff Cavaliere about adapting resistance training in your forties, fifties, and beyond. Cavaliere argues that excessive training volume can be counterproductive and discusses when to stop a set before failure versus pushing to the limit. The conversation also explores warmups, exercise modifications for pain or previous injuries, and why building muscle for appearance can complement functional goals. A muscle-by-muscle discussion covers exercise choices for the shoulders, arms, chest, back, legs, and calves. The practical theme is sustainable progress rather than exhausting every muscle at every session. These are expert perspectives, not findings from a new trial; this summary is based on the supplied abstract only.
